Castles


If you’re up to it, check out Scratches. This young man is an amazing storyteller. (If you know him personally, tell him to update his blog.)

I wrote something, and thought I’d share it. Once again, it’s super short, even too short to be a novella, but a little longer than a regular blog post, so I added a cover and an About the Author page and book’d it up. If you’ve read my past posts before, you may know I’m not a big fan of reading blurbs, and even less a fan of writing them, so, no, there’s no summary. Go and be pleasantly surprised.

(Or horrified. But hopefully pleasantly surprised.)

It’s a PDF file (yes, again), and I’d appreciate feedback, whichever medium you choose to give it to me by. I do my best to eliminate typos, but I’m far from perfect, so feel free to point out any you see.

Click here to download it.

If, however, you don’t feel like it, then click here to not download it. Yes, I cater to all needs.

Happy reading.

Oh, wait. I didn’t even mention the title. It’s called Castles in Gomorrah. Yeah. I tried to include pidgin, but I’m not very… yeah just read it.

Peace.

To Move or not to Move

  That is the question. I’m not sure when this blog became a quarterly. Because how am I only updating this for the first time in over three months? Sorry that I’m asking you. I had to ask someone. Photo Credit: Kaboompics, Pexels. Now that we’ve gotten the apology of my inconsistency out of the way (🙈), let’s celebrate!  I’m 24! Woohoo! In the voice of Liesl from The Sound of Music, ‘I am twenty-four going on twenty-five!’ Yes, I’ve been twenty-four for a few years now, but let us concentrate on important things.  In slightly less incredible news, I set a goal to read 25 books this year. Thus far, I’ve read 24. It’s not because I’m disciplined, or that I’ve got so much time on my hands. It’s just proof of how much traffic I have to sit through to and from work. People have got to learn to stop buying cars and just…walk! The air would be so much cleaner.  As is my habit, when I read a good book, I’ve got to talk about it, give the mandem something to add to their TB...

Iron's Match

  They’d left the keys there to taunt her.  Naa lunged. Stupid.  Like the first thirty times, the chains on her ankles tensed, snatching her back. Pain tore across her body as she slammed into the dungeon’s icy wall. She wheezed through chattering teeth. The glowing orange manacles around her wrists continued to shrink, their sinister laugh echoing in the darkness.  She chuckled. Her tummy cramped. ‘I’ll need a long beauty rest after this.’ Wind whooshed in through the window slats, carrying sounds of distant brass harmonies and beating drums. The coronation!  Seven days. That was how long the strongest–or most stubborn–magic wielders could survive before the manacles fused with their skin, sucking all their ability. It had been six days since Jasim threw her in, clearing the final obstacle to his coronation tomorrow. Naa’s chains rattled as she scrambled to her feet. She could not hang around for another day.  If she could just reach the stupid keys! ...

Raise Your Hand!

Raise your hand if 2016 has been the worst year of your life. Someone on Twitter captured it perfectly in a tweet: ‘2016 has been some like joke like play year oh.’ Perfectly . This year has been one of the most shocking, in all my life, to be mild. Swinging into 2016 I had a sort of vision, of how the year was going to go. No, I wasn’t praying that there’d be showers of gold, and unicorns, and rainbows. In 2015 some…foundations had been laid, and I figured that this year they sort of would be built upon. Things would follow a logical progression. In my subconscious I had a somewhat defined picture of how the year was going to go. But, it was like when this picture was forming, this was 2016.  Oh, you have no idea what’s coming to you! I didn’t. A lot happened this year that left me shaken, and broken, and utterly confused, and sometimes just downright mad. The jolly-yet-realistic expectations my mind had drawn up just took one look at me, gave me a ...
